Part 1
I'm reading a lot of whiny posts about how bad women are etc. etc., and I actually do agree with a lot of what is being said about them.
I've been on both sides of the OLD/Dating App revolution and can tell you with 100% confidence they have made dating much, much WORSE for the marriage, LTR market. They are mandatory if your thing is STRs, ONSs, FWBs. I use them for this with good results.
I would agree that over the past 15+ years women's behavior towards men has gotten worse (disrespect, bratty, wannabe princess, lack of effort) due to hyperinflation of their SMV as a result mainly of dating apps and social media and all the fake validation and mostly the Paradox of Choice. This is 100% fact.
I would also state that both men and women 20-40 are largely incapable of LTRs, marriage, and pair bonding because they lack the basic tools to do so. By tools I mean, this generation has been SO sheltered, coddled, and protected from failure that they just simply don't know how to solve problems and challenges that invariably and WILL DEFINITELY come up in any relationship. They cannot talk, problem solve, unless it's over chat or text.
For this group, as soon as a LTR or even marriage hits a few challenges one or both hit the eject button because they lack the emotional maturity and said interpersonal "tools" to talk and work through these challenges. Now, throw in dating apps, social media, over-reliance on technology (text vs talk and NIP Syndrome), and the fact that this age group has been brought up on an over-abundance of sugar-coated Disney and Pixar movies and you have a perfect storm for legions of couples who have ZERO clue on how to make a relationship actually work. "Oh, we had a fight. This person is SO not for me (swipe, swipe swipe...)."
